To all whom it may concern: I

Be it known that we, PETER CORNIE FLAG- S'I'AD and OSCAR A.. FLAGSTAD,citizens of the I United States, residing at St, Paul, in the county ofRamsey and'State of Minnesota,

the object-is to provide a machine of said kind with certainimprovements, which will fully appear from the herein below descript-ionand claims; reference being had to the accompanying drawing, in which,

Figure 1 is a top or plan view of the ini-' p'rov'ed device. Fig. 2- i'sa side elevation of the device, and-Fig. 3 is an edge view of the platesholding the cores and molds between which the pastry cones are formedand baked, and a portion of the stove casing supporting the plates shownin section.

Referring to the drawing by reference numerals 1 designates a bench uponwhich is mounted a, gas stove, or oven casing 2, having in its base aburner 3 and in its upper edge, oppositely disposed open bearings 4, inwhich rotate the divided or split journals 5 of a pa' of plates 6, 7, ofwhich plate 6 is provided with conic molds 8 and plate 7 with coniccores 9 adapted to lit in the molds with spaces 10 between each core andits mold for the pastry to be molded and baked in. The journals of themold plate 6 are each provided with a hook 11 adapted to 1 which in thepresent instance are shown as secured at 15 to the sides of the ovencasing but they may also be cast integral with the oven casing asextensions of the upper. slde edges of' same. Near'the rear end of eachslot 14 is provideda notch 16. In said slots 14" slide two inwardprojections or studs 17 of the branches of a bifurcated lever 18, whichis formed with a handle 19 provided 1 with a slidable weight-20 having athumb- 1 screw .21 by which the weight may be secured at the desiredplace on the handle; a

stud 22 prevents separation of the weight from the handle. Near thefulcrum studs Patented Mar. 5, 1912'.- Application filed March 11, 1910.Serial N 0,548,612 7 i 17, the lever is formed with notches 23 adaptedto fit and press'up pn the split journals so as to squeeze the platesfirmly together when the leveris in horizontal forward position. andeither made hea enough to act as a weight or provided wit the weight 20.The branches of the lever are provided with fingers 24. Rearward of thestove casing is secured on the bench a supporting post 25.

In the operation of the-machine, when the.

gas stove is lighted and themold and core plates heated by the gasflame, the operator slides the lever rearward and then, forward to makethe fingers 24 engage in the sta les 13;.he then raises the lever andcore pate high enough to admit the paste into. the molds, whereupon helowers the core plate upon the mold plate, and in order to get therequired pressure on the journals of the plates he unhooks the leverfrom the staples 13 and pulls it forward as far as the slots 14 willpermit, which brings the notches 23 over the journals, the weight of thelever will on small or few cone molds, give the required pressure, butwhere a large number of molds and cores are carried by each plate morepressure/is required to re sist the action of the steam formed in the'dough or paste, and in such cases the weight 20 is provided and is ofthe required size.

If the operator is a fairly strong person, he

moves the weight to the place on the lever where it will give thedesired pressure and secures the weight there; but if the operator isnot strong enough to care to raise the lever with the weight near thepin 22, he leaves the weight loose and moves it inward on the lever eachtime heis going to raise the lever, and moves it back again toward thepin 22 as soon as the lever. is lowered to its forward position. Whenthe cones are partly baked, the handle 26, with which. one of thejournals is provided, is taken hold of and the two plates are turnedwith the points of the cone molds upward and left in that position untilthe cones are baked, the plates are then turned with cone points down,the lever is pushed. rearward and then pulled slightly forward toget theand lever lowered again upon the mold plate, the lever is unhooked fromthe staples 13 and pulled forward to squeezing position? and theoperation repeated. It will be noted .that while the lever is raised,its studs '17 rest iuzthe notches 16 to prevent forward sliding of. thestuds in the slots.

What we claim is y 1 In. a devicegof the kind described, a stovehavingan, open top with open bearings in the edges thereof, a pair ofarms extending rearwardly from the stove and provided each with alongitudinal slot, two plates provided with meeting half journalsadapted to rest in the bearings,oonic molds on one of theplatesand coreson the other plate to enter the moldswith small spaces between them forthe pastry, a bifurcated 'gravity-aotuated lever having theends of itsbranches provided wit-h studs slidable in the slots of the arms, andnear said studs curved portions adaptedt-o engage the upper sides of thejournals to press the plates together when the lever is in asubstantially horizontal forward position, nieans for engaging saidlever. with the core-carrying plate to lift it and means on the stoveand on the mold-carrying. plateadapted to en gage one another by arotary movement of the plate'in its bearings, and to retain said lever.

plate with conic molds, a plate with conic cores adapted to enter themolds, a lever arranged to press the plates closely together and aweighton the levet'to increase the pressure; said weight being slidableon the leve'n'and the lever having {means to pr vent separation of theweight from it.

4. In a machine of the kind described, a

plate withconic molds, a lplate with conic cores adapted to enter themolds, a lever arranged .to press the plates'cl'osely together and aweight on the lever\ to increase the pressure; said weighthavin' a setscrew by which it may be secured at tine desired place on the lever. i

In testimony whereof we aflix our signa' tures, in presence of two witesses.
